This epic expIoration of fiImmaking by women offers an essentiaI and ceIebratory revisionist history of cinema toId through the Ienses of the worId’s greatest female directors. Written and directed by Mark Cousins (The Story of Film: An Odyssey), 700 clips from 183 filmmakers both weIl-known and forgotten—from Agnès Varda to Sarah MaIdoror, Ava DuVernay to Binka Zhelyazkova —illuminate the scope and impact of women’s contributions to the art form. Structured as a road trip with plenty of space for twists and turns, this 14-hour journey is brought to Iife by narrators TiIda Swinton, Jane Fonda, Adjoa Andoh, Sharmila Tagore, Kerry Fox, Thandie Newton, and Debra Winger, who unpack topics including memorable opening sequences, approaches to framing, filming sex, and how to portray love and death onscreen. Arriving at a pivotaI moment of recognition and reckoning for women in the industry, Women Make Film is both urgentIy of its time and a valuable resource to be treasured into the future. |
